[Verse 1]
A#m G# C#
I'm trapped in a hospital room
A#m G# C#
That hospital room is inside my head
A#m G# C#
Doctors are tryin' to mend the stitches on my broken heart
A#m G# C#
Lord, get me out of this goddamn bed
[Verse 2]
A#m G# C#
I fell in love with a woman
A#m G# C#
Sweetest girl I've ever seen
A#m G# C#
I tried to show her the better side of myself
A#m G# C#
Give her the best part of me
[Pre-Chorus]
F# G#
This one thing can give me back my freedom
F# G#
I just wanna hear you say my name
[Chorus]
F#
It was short-lived love
C# G#
Runnin' down a highway, hittin' all the back roads
A#m G# F#
Hopin' that the rain came down on a Sunday
C# G#
Stay a little longer, I don't wanna wondеr
A#m G# F#
If I'm gonna see you next weekend
G#
Now your memory's all I got
A#m G# C#
It was short-livеd love
[Verse 3]
A#m G# C#
I've tried everything to forget about you
A#m G# C#
Mixed more gin with tonic than an average man should
A#m G# C#
Powdered my brain with the harshest of chemicals
A#m G# C#
Tried to disappear for the greater good
[Verse 4]
A#m G# C#
There's something 'bout the way I look at you
A#m G# C#
There's something 'bout the way you look at me
A#m G# C#
I can't seem to recreate that with another woman
A#m G# C#
That's enough to tell me I ain't ready to set you free
[Chorus]
F#
It was short-lived love
C# G#
Runnin' down a highway, hittin' all the back roads
A#m G# F#
Hopin' that the rain came down on a Sunday
C# G#
Stay a little longer, I don't wanna wonder
A#m G# F#
If I'm gonna see you next weekend
G#
Now your memory's all I got
F# G#
Now your memory's all I got
F#
It was short-lived love
